Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Too bad no one gave him the idea to rename it last year.
Absolutely disgraceful to treat them like this. I hope this causes his support among servicemembers to plummet.
I don't know how he had support to begin with. He clearly hates them. I don't think I've ever heard him say a positive thing about servicemen.
And yet, recruits are lining up in big numbers again.
requires acid flushes on a regular basis to clear it, at a cost of $400,000 each time.
What the fuck kind of acids are they using, and have they tried feeding the sailors more fibre?
I said in another thread - go clean your dryer vent line. If it causes a fire that bad in a big steel boat just think what it does in a flammable house.
sigh I'll add it to my growing todo list. I'm worried that I'm gunna tear a hole in it when I clean it.
Then it’s an opportunity to put in solid instead of the flexy crap; flex really limits flow.
Homeownership is just an unending matryoshka set of yak-shaving isn’t it.
I'll say it again, the US military isn't designed to win wars, or for tactical superiority. it's designed to be a money funnel for public funds straight into shareholders's pockets
I listened to an Articles of Interest podcast in which the statement was made, roughly, that the only reason a company makes clothing in USA is because they get military money. It’s probably true for many things made in USA. I think of the people I know or at least am familiar with and the number who are somehow linked to the military - not as service members - is awfully high. A significant proportion relies on military contracts. And these aren’t weapons manufacturers.
Starts to look pretty “communist” if ya squint.
It's a jobs program. Jobs programs are great but this one is exremely inefficient as so much money is scooped up by the top.
I think you are right, our leaders seem incompetent, but it's just that they only care about extracting money from the government for their pals that kick back to them.
Democracy™ since 1789
They don’t want to die for Israel, Epstein, or the orange traitor
The writing was on the wall long before now.
1917 style revolution when?
Did the fire really start in laundry, or was it hit with something? They always lie if they can, blame pilot error for plane crashes and helicoptor crashes when they are shot down. Seems a little harder to hide if a drone or missile got through though, but maybe some other kind of sabotage?
Pissed off sailors that don't want to be part of one illegal war after another, maybe they are plugging the toilets and causing small fires to take themselves away from the action.
